Lorenzo Thomas lectures on poetry and social action. He reads and discusses pieces written as social action commentary, such as "By the rivers of Babylon" (Psalm 137), The Declaration of Independence, Frederick Douglass's "What to the American slave is the 4th of July?", and poems by Paul Laurence Dunbar and John Greenleaf Whittier. Thomas also discusses Douglass's life in relation to the abolitionist movement, the civil rights movement, and the current situation in the Middle East.
